What is the point of letting new cards? It's impossible to get the first ones...
I wish there was a way of getting a card from another manufacturer and let Nvidia have the finger...
Even the the stores are juicing up the prices. Its all a great scam...
If the MSRP price is real that Nvidia provides, that
should mean that they are able to manufacture cards at that price and still turn a profit. So what prevents AIBs from doing the same? Why are their cards so much higher in price?
You have a couple of things that are of possible and both are concerning to me in this situation:
1) Nvidia is outright lying about what a card can be manufactured for and the MSRP is a lie.
OR
2) AIBs are outright lying about how much "extra" it now costs to obtain parts to manufacture their cards and they are price gouging the fuck out of everyone. Then when things hit retailers, they in turn add on their mark up to turn a profit......
6700XT listed as MSRP of $479. I see them selling upwards of nearly $900 and up.
RTX 3070 listed as MSPR of $499. I see them selling upwards of $900 and up.
That just goes to show you that either option 1 or option 2 is the problem and I don't know which one is, but both options irk me.
